Noordhaus presents Private View, by Václav Havel

“If you want to give your place a real face, it’s no good just being fond of antiques. You’ve got to know where to find them.”

After its FEATS premiére earlier this year, Private View goes on international tour!
All showings of Private View are scheduled in double bill with Noordhaus’ other concurrent production Room Number Three.

Ferdinand Vaněk has been invited to his friends’ house, affluent couple Vera and Michael. Met with the surprising sight of a completely remodeled apartment, Ferdinand can do little else than play along with his friends’ new-found eccentric opulence. As the night’s conversations turn from casual to personal, and later to invasive, Ferdinand wonders what could have happened to Vera and Michael since he last saw them. Certainly the recent sudden change of their country’s political regime could not have anything to do with it.

“Ah, yes! Directors and directors, welcome to this week’s meta-revisional retrospective on the efficacy of last week’s meetings.
Please do not address any director by given name.”

The board of directors are meeting again. In their endless pursuit of the perfectly optimized meeting, looping discussions about their previous meetings are leading them further and further away from their planned agenda. What begins as the expected absurdity inherent to any corporate meeting slowly morphs into non-sensical topic changes, tense exchanges between participants, and an ultimate descent into chaos from which not even the most professional of executives can recover.
